L’Arbre Fee de Bourlemont (The Fairy Tree of Bourlemont)
Lyrics by Mark Twain - 1896
Melody composed and performed by Alfred Sherer - 2018

Now on YouTube as a lyric video at: https://youtu.be/rpB_wV2OTwE

The melody was inspired by the lyrics written by Mark Twain in his book, “Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc” (1896). The melody was composed by Alfred Sherer in 2018, 122 years after Mark Twain had published his book.  There is no referenced or published melody in the book.

This song is, in a sense, much more than just a children's musical rhyme...  I believe that Mark Twain, through the lyrics of "Arbre Fee de Bourlemont", was actually writing about France and that the song expresses the deep feelings that the French people have for their country.

In the final scene in the Musical La Pucelle (The Maid), Louis de Conte' is on stage alone and sings this song as a tribute to Joan of Arc... the Children's Song they sang together and carried throughout their lives forever. 

L’ARBRE FEE DE BOURLEMONT(The Fairy Tree of Bourlemont)
 ~ SONG OF THE CHILDREN ~
 
English with French subtitles

1st Verse
Now what has kept your leaves so green
(Comment es-tu resté si vert,)
Arbre Fee de Bourlemont?
(Arbre Fée de Bourlemont?)
The children’s tears! They brought each grief.
(Les larmes d’enfants! Tous malheureux,)
Their sadness waiting there.  (added verse by AS)
(Tristement attendaient.)
And you did comfort them and cheer
(Tu les confortas, égayas)
their bruis-ed hearts, and steal a tear
(Leurs coeurs brisés, Et pris une larme,)
that, heal-ed, rose a leaf.
(Qui éclora une feuille.}

2nd Verse
And what has built you up so strong,
(Et qu’est-ce qui te rendit si fort,)
Arbre Fee de Bourlemont?
(Arbre Fee de Bourlemont?)
The children’s love! They’ve loved you long
(Le long amour de tes enfants,)
Ten hundred years, in sooth
(Dix siècles, à dire vrai,)
They’ve nourished you with praise and song
(Te nourrirent de chants et louanges,}
And warmed your heart and kept you young – 
(jeune Chauffant ton coeur, Le gardant,)
A thousand years of youth!
(Mille ans de jeunesse!)

3rd Verse
Bide always green in our young hearts,
(Gardons ceci dans nos jeunes coeurs,)
Arbre Fee de Bourlemont!
(Arbre Fee de Bourlemont!)
And we shall always youthful be,
(Et toujours jeunesse nous serons,)
Not heeding Time his flight;
(Sans peur du temps qui fuit.)
And when, in exile wand’ring, we
(Et quand en exile nous irons,)
Shall fainting yearn for glimpse of thee,
(L’espoir voulant une vision de toi,)
Oh, rise upon our sight!
(Renait à notre vue!)

LYRICS: 

She learned how to ride, trained by an angel
She loved her country, loved her Lord
The angel told her to lead the king’s army
And she’d put an end to the Hundred Years war

She found the king, delivered her message
Somehow he knew it would all be okay
He gave her his army and followed her eastward
Letting her blaze his trail all the way

With love and danger
The lord hath her arrayed
A lone teenager
A martyr and a maid 

With only heaven
A banner and a blade
She turned back a century
In 49 days

She freed whole cities, to all amazement
As she rode by, the people bowed down
And that old cathedral swung right open
And the king she delivered     received his crown

With love and danger
The lord hath her arrayed
A lone teenager
A martyr and a maid 

With only heaven
A banner and a blade
She turned back a century
In 49 days

The king betrayed her, allowed her capture
He Wouldn’t ransom her back for a dime
And all the learned doctors of Europe 
Tried to accuse her but found no crime

She couldn’t read but she signed what they read her
That’s how they tricked her, a bait and a switch
Confession of falsehoods and sins uncommitted
And now they could burn her and call her a witch

Twin - Joan of Arc

Song inspired by the French heroine and saint Joan of Arc (1412-1431).

Written, performed and produced by Cat Victoria

Lyrics:
They say there's a story in everyone 
When the time comes you'll know what's to be done 
The sky opened up when mine begun 
It's my calling it's where I belong  

They say there's a storm in everyone
It’s yours to discover yours to become
Hear my prayer hear my song 
We will be free so let’s march on

We must dare until the battle's won
When danger comes we won't run

When it begun sky opened up 
Heavenly voices from above 
And this light feels like home 
Warm and bright just like the sun 
I believe this is where I belong
Trust this light let it lead me on

I raise my banner in the air 
I trust I believe I dare 
I will dare until the battle's won
When danger comes I won't run

They say there's a story in everyone 
When the time comes you'll know what's to be done
